Liberation Day: US Tariffs on Everyone

[palehorse]

In my point of view this is what is called "controlled demolition", it feels there is 2 large elite groups that are not working together and probably hate each other, one is the globalists and the other is the technocrats (Trump is a technocrat along with Musk and many many others), so whoever win this battle that is not very clear in the open, will take over everything, so one part must die for the other survive. For me as always we make up our reality and we do not have to pick sides or slightly go along with anything, because that is the impression out there, like picking communism over fascism or vice-versa, it is the same ****ery. The tariffs are reciprocal of course and it is inevitable to not generate financial conflicts that will lead to larger conflicts.

It is all on purpose, things like this does not happen by chance or mistakes, they planned it for a very long and they are deploying in stages. So fasten your seat belts because we are approaching a huge hardship in the next few years, in my point of view the technocratic world will be installed and the globalist will have their asses kicked, so one can expect more and more control in a very unfair world where everything will be dictated by algorithms, you do what you were told or you are in real trouble.

I see more and more alternative lifestyles on the horizon, not talking about the over hyped BS out there on alt media and even on mainstream media now, I am talking about real people that can't take it anymore that won't accept technocracy or globalism anymore because now they start seeing the real colors of it and of course with so many crisis that will arise from it, all those people will be giving a f*** about it all, I am one of them and I would proudly die knowing I didn't took part on any of it.

In technocracy there is a term called "technates" which means basically "zones of influence", these zones are fully controlled by technocrats, with the tariffs rodeo it will probably fragment the world into these technates zones or blocs.

The world is a stage, however the real show are behind the scenes.

We will survive without globalism and technocracy and if not it was a great pleasure to be here.

Headline news: Globalists - all over the globe, simultaneously - proclaim "The End of Globalisation..."

That's it - really.

Says it all.

Just think about it, please?

Yep, it's becoming a little too synchronized and obvious... Add to that the fact that since 9/11 trillions US $$$ were printed out of thin air to fund I$rael's endless genocidal wars of expansion. And the Trump camp is now trying to blame 'trade imbalance' for USA's economic problems. Once again, they're trying to trick us with 'don't look there, look over here'.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs discusses the tariffs and economic coercion that diminish trust and restructure the international economy. How will trade be reorganised, how will the US dollar be impacted, and how will the world learn to live without the US at the centre of the international economy?

Not only is China one of the highest tariffed countries in the world they are masters currency manipulators. The cost of China's currency manipulation to the US economy is difficult to quantify, but it is estimated to be in the billions of dollars each year. A weak yuan makes Chinese exports more competitive, which can hurt US manufacturers and lead to job losses in the US.

Cry Me A River China

China was happy for the USA to live on food stamps and in tent cities and become a third world country all in an effort to save China, well now the shoes on the other foot China.

I say to President Trump play chicken with China keep upping the tariffs until it really hurts because we know China will have to relent.

To Lin western countries don't need you second rate products so go away we don't want your crap anymore.


China calls US tariffs 'bullying', urged others to continue with consultation

BEIJING, April 7 (Reuters) - Threats and pressure are not the right way to deal with China, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said on Monday after describing U.S. President Donald Trump's "reciprocal tariffs" as bullying.

The tariffs are "typical unilateralism and protectionism, and economic bullying", spokesperson Lin Jian told a regular press conference. He said that U.S. tariffs in the name of reciprocity only served its own interest at the expense of other countries.

Last week, Trump introduced an additional 34% tariff on Chinese goods as part of steep levies imposed on most U.S. trade partners, bringing the total duties on China this year to 54%. China retaliated with a series of countermeasures.

Lin deferred to other bodies the question of whether China would engage in negotiations with the United States.

U.S. customs agents have been collecting Trump's unilateral 10% tariff on all imports from many countries since Saturday.

"The abuse of tariffs by the United States is tantamount to depriving countries, especially those in the Global South, of their right to development," Lin said, citing a widening gap between the rich and poor in each country, and less developed countries suffering a greater impact.

I'm not American but I can see why the US couldn't carry on down the road to economic ruin that they were on.... dishing out billions and trillions of dollars to God knows who all the time - (exposed by DOGE) covertly funding the Globalist Elite's agenda -

Trump makes past Presidents look like CEOs of a ginormous NWO charity - funding countries abroad (like China for example) with tariff imbalances and dishing out millions/billions/trillions to groups and individuals in all corners of the world.... for 'things' sometimes 'things' that don't even exist ....

It looks like the 'coup de grâce' was about to finish off America if Harris and the Democrats managed to cheat their way into the Presidency again -

Till the Trump Cavalry came over the hill....

Seth Holehouse (Man In America) plays 2 short videos here that might help to understand what's going on in the Trump camp with the tariffs policy push.

Trump even re-truthed the second clip.


I dread posting Man In America videos here because they are so ruined by his multiple advertising interruptions but in this case I'll make an exception for the sake of showing the 2 video clips.

The video should start at 4 mins 50 seconds.

Yawn. All this wringing of hands over tariffs--BORING. I will only worry about any of this if Trump reverses himself on letting central bank digital currencies happen in the States.

A punch in the CCPs solar plexus just ahead of telling the whole world America is coming for all the perpetrators of the attack on it makes sense to me.

The SHT stirring assholes in Europe rely on 'superpowers' to deliver their black magic to the world. America has just said, go F yourselves and China is probably about to have such big problems of it's own it won't be able to fetch their ball either.

Kyle Bass: Why the Chinese Economy is Going to Collapse
3 months ago


This is the 30 minute TV version of Jan Jekielek’s interview with Kyle Bass. The longer-form version was released on Epoch TV on December 26, 2024

Kyle Bass is the founder and chief investment officer of Hayman Capital Management, and he’s known for his prescient bets on major global economic events.

In this episode, we dive into why he believes China’s economy is collapsing, why Bytedance hasn’t sold TikTok despite a looming January deadline, and what he believes the big economic and financial priorities of the incoming Trump administration should be.

Kyle Bass about the incoming Trump administration: “I think the roadmap that the Trump administration has, starting January 20, is exactly what's needed. I agree with the roadmap wholeheartedly. And Scott Bessent’s vision of how the Treasury will act, and Elon Musk's vision on cost cutting, well, I think all of those things together create such a beautiful menagerie of growth and also fat cutting. You know, we need to be leaner, meaner, and we need to, we need to, we need to show our true economic potential. And I think with those people in charge, along with President Trump, I think we're going to be able to achieve that.”

Bass about Scott Bessent, Trump’s nominee for secretary of the treasury: “When you look at Scott Bessent, one thing you realize is that he doesn't need any more money. He doesn't need to go raise money from the Chinese or the Saudis or anyone afterwards. He is a pragmatist. He understands the plumbing of global capital flows better than anyone that was in the running, by far, and he also has a gravitas among global central bankers that is important. He doesn't have to earn it. He already has it. So when he steps in there on January 20 or January 21 he already has the world kind of mapped out and figured out. And so when you say, how is this going to change? We are not going to be taken advantage of the way we had been taken advantage of in the past.”

CHAPTER TITLES
0:00:00 - China's Domestic and Global Economic Challenges
0:05:32 - The Role of Real Estate and Demographic Shifts in China
0:10:21 - Concerns Around Chinese Stocks and VIEs
0:14:03 - Expectations for the New US Treasury Leadership
0:19:45 - Addressing Global Economic Imbalances and Inflation
0:24:15 - Opportunities and Challenges for the US Economy


About China’s economic problems: “China's banking system is twice as large as ours, in an economy substantially smaller than ours, in a world in which they've only been at call it advanced banking since 2002 they've only been at this 20 years, so they've got a lot of plates spinning, and they've got a lot of leverage, and almost 40% of bank assets in China are lent to domestic real estate. So if your real estate markets are down 30 to 50 and your economy is three and a half times leveraged, your banks and your banks are insolvent, you have a real problem, and their problem is larger than ours was during the global financial crisis.”

Kyle Bass about China’s dependence on crude oil and gas imports as well as food imports and the US dollar: “China imports about 13 million barrels of crude oil every day. That is the world's largest importer of crude oil. They import almost nine BCF of LNG every day. They are the largest importer of LNG in the world. They import 40% of their food every single day, and all of those imports they have to pay dollars for. So where do they get the dollars? Is the question, and they have to keep a robust trade relationship in dollars with us to be able to pay for their daily operations with the rest of the world, because they have a closed capital account. Their RMB is not convertible into anything, unless the Chinese party allows it to happen. They control that escape valve. So it's really an artificial exchange rate, closed capital account. Internal disaster. But they've made a lot of money by being the world's factory floor. They made it two ways, right? They've been the world's factory floor since 2002 and then they started stealing Intellectual Property.”

At roughly a 4:1 trade imbalance, it looks like Trump is driving a bus and Xi Jinping a Volkswagen bug in this particular game of chicken... All other things being equal (which they may not be) not too hard to guess who might swerve first
